FOREWORD 



A Personal Message From the State Superintendent of Schools. 

These lessons are prepared to aid those who have un- 
fortunately missed their opportunity for education in 
early life. To you who are to use it I appeal as a friend 
and fellow citizen to take advantage of the opportunity 
for removing what I am sure you realize has always been 
a misfortune. It is no disgrace not to know how to read 
and write. Some men and women for various reasons did 
not have a chance to learn, but I am sure you realize that 
it is unfortunate and an increasing source of mortifica- 
tion to family and friends. If you will take advantage 
of the help now given, you will find more of joy and use- 
fulness to yourself and to your State. Learn how to 
write and to solve problems in arithmetic in order to 
better protect your interests in business life. I want you 
to be able to read the newspapers and the Bible at least, 
in order to find out for yourself, without being dependent 
upon others, the truths needed for your happiness in this 
life as well as the one to come. 

Sincerely, 



ryn t £,&****=*

I believe that the Demon of Strong Drink is the foe

earth and blessedness in Heaven; and that two-thirds of 
all pauperism, crime, woe on earth may be traced to him 
as its father ; that he was born of Satan, and the depraved 
appetites of men, and inflicts only suffering upon his 
victim; that under his rule, reason is crucified, love dies, 
and conscience is buried; that man descends into hell, 
even on earth, and has no resurrection for his manhood, 
nor redemption for his enslaved soul, but in the power 
of God; that no drunkard can enter into the Kingdom 
of God or abide His presence who shall come to judge 
the living and the dead.

My Creed. 

{From the Blue Book of Stories.) 
I am a citizen of Georgia and the United States, a 
great commonwealth of the world's greatest land. It is 
my duty to make an honest living and my right to be 
healthy and happy. It is my privilege to help others 
also to secure these benefits. I will work and play fair. 
I will be polite always to old people and kind to the un- 
fortunate and to my little brethren of the field and of 
the air. To the best of my ability, I expect to make 
Georgia a clean, beautiful, and law-abiding State, for this 
is the best service I may render to the land that has given 
me birth.

LESSON XVII. 



READING. 



My Health Creed. 

I believe my body and good health are sacred. If I am sick, 
it will very probably be because I have violated some one or 
more of Nature's laws. 

I will study the laws of health and will obey them for my own 
sake. 

I will not wet my fingers in my mouth when turning the 
leaves of books. 

I will not put pencils in my mouth nor wet them with my lips. 

I will not put pins or money in my mouth. 

I will use my mouth for eating good, plain food, drinking pure 
water and milk, and for saying good and kind words. 

I will always chew my food thoroughly, and never drink 
whiskey or wine. 

I will not cough or sneeze without turning my face or hold- 
ing a handkerchief before my mouth. Polite people never cough 
in public is they can prevent it. 

I will keep my face, hands and finger nails as clean as possible. 

I will not spit on floors, stairways or sidewalks, and will try 
not to spit at all ; ladies and gentlemen try to avoid this bad habit. 

I will wash my mouth every morning on getting up and at 
night on going to bed, and will use a tooth brush if I can get one. 

I will be clean in body, clean in mind, and avoid all habits 
that may give offense to others. 

I will get all the fresh air I can and will open wide my 
windows when I go to bed.

READING. 
GRATITUDE. 

The Ant and the Dove. 

An ant went to the bank of a river to drink and, hav- 
ing accidentally fallen into the stream, was on the point 
of being drowned. 

A dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water, pulled 
off a leaf and dropped it into the water near the little 
insect. The ant climbed on this and, floating in safety, 
came to the bank. 

Soon afterwards a hunter saw the dove and crept 
forward carefully, endeavoring to get close enough to 
shoot. The ant, perceiving his design, bit him on the 
ankle so sharply that he cried out in pain and, upon this, 
the dove flew away and escaped. — Aesop.
